+20200613
+       + update list of functions in ncurses.3x
+       + move dlclose() call from lib_mouse.c to delscreen() to avoid a case
+         in the former which could be called from SIGTSTP handler (Debian
+         #961097).
+
+20200606
+       + add xterm+256color2, xterm+88color2, to deprecate nonstandard usage
+         in xterm+256color, xterm+88color -TD
+       + add shifted Linux console keys in linux+sfkeys entry for
+         screen.linux (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+       + use vt100+enq in screen (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+       + add screen.linux-s alias (suggested by Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20200531
+       + correct configure version-check/warnng for g++ to allow for 10.x
+       + re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang)
+       + add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+       + drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl 
+       + add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+       + improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
+         handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
+         (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+       + use a more conservative estimate of the buffer-size in lib_tparm.c's
+         save_text() and save_number(), in case the sprintf() function
+         passes-through unexpected characters from a format specifier
+         (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+       + add a check for end-of-string in cvtchar to handle a malformed
+         string in infotocap (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+
+20200523
+       + update version-check for gnat to allow for gnat 10.x to 99.x
+       + fix an uninitialized variable in lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20200502)
+       + add a check in EmitRange to guard against repeat_char emitting digits
+         which could be interpreted as BSD-style padding when --enable-bsdpad 
+         is configured (report/patch by Hiltjo Posthuma).
+       + add --disable-pkg-ldflags to suppress EXTRA_LDFLAGS from the
+         generated pkg-config and ncurses*-config files, to simplify
+         configuring in the case where rpath is used but the packager wants
+         to hide the feature (report by Michael Stapelberg).
+       > fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by
+         "Maarten Anonymous"):
+       + modify CF_SHARED_OPTS to generate a script which translates linker
+         options into Visual Studio's dialect.
+       + omit parentheses around function-names in generated lib_gen.c to
+         work around a Visual Studio C++ limitation.
+
+20200516
+       + add notes on termcap.h header in curs_termcap.3x
+       + update notes on vscode / xterm.js -TD
+

 20200509
        + add "-r" option to the dots test-programs, to help with scripting
          a performance comparison.
